My periods have always been light but now they are lasting 1 day& the flow is not heavy enough to use even 1 tampon.cause for concern?age 35& two kids

Could be ok: particularly if on a hormonal contraceptive. If not, checking the uterine lining, with an ultrasound to rule out excessive lining thickness, could be reassuring. If thin OK, if thick needs evaluation and treatment to avoid abnormal/atypical cell buildup.
